Kept from the Hour

A mounting wave of interest has swept across America and the United Kingdom on the subject of the return of Christ. Near the crest of the wave is the turbulent question, being asked with ever increasing intensity: "Will Christ return before the Tribulation, or must the Church pass through that dread hour?" As one of the most complete defenses of the pretribulational return of Christ yet in print, Kept From The Hour is a timely book upon a momentous theme. Written in an interesting and swiftly-moving fashion, the book includes a scholarly discussion of all four major views relative to the Rapture. All the major problems and Scripture passages are considered, but in a manner slanted for the layman as well as for the scholar. The culmination of years of research, Kept From The Hour includes many quotations and sidelights from men of God who have debated the issue. It is a clear and concise apologetic for the doctrine of a pretribulational Rapture.
